Unless I'm badly mis-remembering what I read on Joe's blog years ago that article seems a bit off based. I don't recall anything cloud specific in what he wrote about. It was about trying to rewrite large parts of the OS guts in .net. There were some (performance?) issues they never managed to get resolved in the project; although a number of changes they made in their custom fork of the .net runtime were eventually either ported into the framework or what became core.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
